The default is Performers and Choir/Orchestra/Ensemble and Conductor - note the Composer is not included since they are not actually involved in the performance. But SongKong lets you configure what fields to use using the MusicBrainz Track Artist option on the Classical tab. There is no hard and fast rule about what the Track Artist should be. The Track Artist is used in MinimServer in the All Artists index, it is only used in the Artists index when the album artist is missing. The Track Artist represents the most important people or groups involved in the performance. On a CD or record various different people can be involved in each track, they may be a soloist, part of an ensemble, orchestra or choir or the conductor and labelled as such, different tracks have different types of people involved.
